Green Roof Systems
The focus on improving the quality of life in our urban environments and reducing the impact on our buildings, can be assisted with the installation of a Viking Roof Garden System.
A roof garden is a roof that is partially or completely covered with vegetation and soil; lined by a membrane that ensures the living space below remains watertight.
As compelling as the idea of a roof garden can be, there are several facets that must be executed correctly to ensure a successful roof garden installation. A dead roof garden, or worse-still, a leaking one is a hugely expensive issue to resolve.
Key factors include:
- An appropriate waterproofing membrane layer
- Only trained applicators installing that membrane system – (to the manufacturer’s specification)
- Proven roof garden drainage components that have been sourced from the same reputable manufacturer
- The soil (a.k.a ‘growth medium’) having been specifically formulated for roof gardens eg: high draining soil full of pumice , compost and perlite
- Plants and grasses that aren’t too thirsty and don’t possess aggressive root structures
- A maintenance programme employed, or better still, proprietary watering system
Components of a Viking Roof Garden System
- Waterproofing membrane (Enviroclad or Anti-root torch-on)
- Root Barrier* Drainage Board Composite (including protection fabric, drainage board cups and moisture retention layer)
- Plants and soil
- Aluminium drain protection box
- Aluminium garden edging
The Viking Roof Garden system offers both functional and aesthetically appealing benefits:
- Reduces storm water runoff
- Air and water purification
- Protects roof membrane from climatic extremes
- Sound and temperature control
- Insulates and shades building
- Provides a pleasant outdoor area
- Utilises a buildings ‘5th wall’
- Installed only by a Viking Approved Applicator
- 20-year product warranty
- BRANZ appraised (Appraisal No. 903)
Viking Roofspec understands that each roof garden is unique. We work with all project stakeholders to create a custom roof system that meets New Zealand Building Code requirements; the challenges of the local climate; and the needs of the building owner.
